Great iced tea, good options for kids (except the mac and cheese is Kraft, and therefore my children won't touch it). For apps - love the salted edamame and cheese curds. Mains - skip the steaks just get a burger or a wrap. The crispy chicken cheddar is great. Burgers are all decent. Don't go on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Feels like their "B team" works those days. The carrot cake is a favorite with my kids! read more

We were exploring Payson and found this spot and decided to pop in for lunch. The outdoor patio is spacious and the weather was amazing! We started with some wings, the server did say it would take about 20 minutes.. felt like 15 minutes to be honest. Not bad at all! The customer service was good overall!! The lunches took quite a while though... two burgers and we waited a while. However, they were delicious!!Overall, this is a cute "mom and pop" place. Truly, a lot of locals come here and this is a nice spot to go and hang. read more

Everyone working here is great. Megan was wonderful. The Cowboy Melt was delicious and the fries are excellent. Nice patio (heaters are out of propane currently - hope they refill soon) but it's nice they have that option. Dog friendly as well (water bowls too!). They have Tower Station IPA on tap which is awesome. We'll be back. read more

They do have the best burgers in Payson. I like how attentive they were to my daughter and giving her pictures to color. It was a good experience overall. read more

Macky's Grill - Dining area - Burgers Near Me - Payson, Arizona

Very good home style, mom and pop restaurant! Yummy homemade deserts too! Great staff and great service!

God Bless Macky's - we have come here so many times, literally every time we visit or hike in Payson. It is totally unassuming, and yet totally charming. From drinks to little bites and big meals to homemade desserts, they have something for everyone here - we even brought a picky vegan gluten-free individual here who found no fault in the entire dining experience...and neither can we! Macky's is a bit like a Rock of Gibraltar in Payson and has survived some tough times (namely the pandemic), but I hope they can continue to roll with the punches and be around for a long time. Come out of the cold and get yourself a nice hot something. read more

Outside patio is nice. We came at 530. Friendly staff looks like a local staple. Lotsa of people with dogs. Menu has a lot to chose from but you will spend between ten and twenty. Good variety of burgers. I tried the 21 dollar shrimp with baked potatoes and side salad which was just ok some lettuce wilted and not fresh. I picked it off. Blue cheese dressing was great with chunks They forgot to put the corn bread on the plate so I had to ask for it. Waitresses very helpful and friendly and brought it out delicious with warm honey Is it perfect ? No would we come back yes! read more

Feb 22, 2022 I went again up to Payson with my friend Jen, to eat at Mackey's Grill. I ordered the Patty Melt with Potato Salad. I generally Love Patty Melts. This one was decent but needed more seasoning. The Potato Salad was decent, but I've had way better. We did find out it isn't homemade but their Coleslaw is. I should have ordered the Coleslaw! No folks that isn't a Beer in the pic, I had a Bottled Vanilla Creme Soda, which they bring you a frosted mug to drink it out of. Was very good! I ordered a Slice of their Carrot Cake to go (a favorite), Jen ordered 2. I would have loved some Zucchini or Onion Rings but $11.50 is too pricey for an Appetizer, that cost more then my Burger n side. When Jen got her food the Fries looked so good I ordered a side of those too with ranch. Jen had an Orange Creme Soda and the special which was a Taco Burger, which she said both were great! Also we had a Great Waitress named Jaeden, she is Cute and Attentive...Great Service!!! read more

Mackey's Appetizer with Fried Zucchini, Deep Fried Mushrooms and Curly Onion Strings. Deep fried mushrooms were good, probably the best of the 3 especially after dipping in ranch dressing. Duke Burger sauteed mushrooms, onions, bacon, cheddar, mayo, lettuce and tomatoes was very tasty but sloppy. Started eating by hand, finished eating with fork. Pretty good size menu with large selection of different items to choose from. Located on the right side of the theaters in a shopping plaza so plenty of parking. Our waitress was very good and she was always asking if we needed anything. read more

Yummy food, we ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich & spare ribs! Be sure to ask for blue cheese with the Buffalo chicken (it comes with ranch), and don't bother with the Mac n cheese substitute for fries.. It was kraft!!! We'll be back, lots of things on their menu we wanna try! read more

This was an awesome BLT. Even though I picked it up to-go and ate it in the parking lot on one of the hottest days before driving back to Phoenix, I really enjoyed myself. read more

The food was great, everything was so fresh. We had our dog with us and she was given water and there were others with dogs too with their own water bowls They have a very nice patio area and when I went inside to go to the bathroom its very nice and clean. Very nice staff and I highly recommend them to anyone in or near Payson Arizona. read more

We had Kenneth as our waiter. He was awesome. Very personable and told us about a really low key spot to explore the creeks of Payson. We saw beautiful views and cattle. The food was great and came quickly. We had the apple pie for dessert and it was up there in taste with my mom's homemade pie. read more

My favorite restaurant in Payson is Macky's Grill. I love the outdoor patio and feel like I could just sit out there for hours. I am vegan and really appreciate the vegan menu options. The veggie wrap with added vegan patty is to die for. The servers are always friendly. read more

We stopped here for an early dinner and it did not disappoint. For starters we ordered the appetizer trio with onion straws, battered mushrooms,and cheese curds-all very tasty. Husband ordered the adventure hamburger and I ordered the chicken wrap and we ordered the littles grilled cheese from the kids menu. The service was excellent. read more

Macky's Grill - Chicken wrap with sweet potato fries - Burgers Near Me - Payson, Arizona

Payson family operated...great patio, great service, great classic menu, always fantastic tastes...

This is one of the better places to eat in Payson. Quality food and a nice down home atmosphere. I ordered the Cowboy Melt and sweet potato fries. It was pretty good, but lacked a little in the flavor department. Would definitely go back, probably just wouldn't order the same thing. read more

Macky's Grill - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Payson, Arizona

Unexpectedly awesome burgers. We just happened upon the restaurant tucked back off the road. So glad we stopped.

We were in town (Payson, AZ) for the night, called mackys Grill and placed an order for a Buffalo Chicken Sandwitch and Payson Adventure Burger... It turned out to be a very expensive disappointment, the sandwich was a mere chicken strip grilled with a dap of buffalo source, while the burger had rubbery & over cooked 2/3 pound of meat, the 2 sides of fries were cold & to add insult we were charged 2% take out fee & 7% tip, Never again if we ever happen to this way. read more

Great wings and burgers ... A very fun place that had live music which was nice. Make sure to beat the crowds because this place really packs em in ! read more

This place is great. The outdoor area is dog friendly and their Philly cheesesteaks are absolutely amazing

If you're looking for a dog friendly patio, Macky's is the place! They have dog bowls and fresh water right there on the patio. Jaxon was our server, very friendly and personable, didn't feel like we HAD to make a decision even after the giving us time to peruse the menu. Hubs had the strawberry lemonade which was a dessert in itself! The ooey gooey burger was huge and delicious, big enough to split honestly. The crispy chicken salad was basic but good, and what I wanted Overall a good place to eat and chill whilst you decide what to do next in Payson. We recommend checking out Water Wheel Falls whilst you're there! read more

The cheese curds with the spicy ranch and the regular ranch were such a great appetizer to start out with. The patty melt was absolutely cooked to perfection and the New York style Philly had great flavor and was a great sandwich. Loved this family and friend local sports bar. Great friendly service and live music in a Saturday night outside! read more

Great service but horrible food :( I don't know if maybe it's because of the time we went which was at 4:40 in the afternoon and it wasn't that busy. But the food was so bad that it taste like food you would get at a carnival maybe. I got the chicken tenders and they were so burnt and breaded that there was no chicken. And then they gave me one more because I was supposed to have three and it was like perfect so I'm not sure what was going on. The burgers are like slider sizes not big at all. And we order the mac & cheese for our son and you could tell it was kraft mac & cheese which I guess is OK but it was not hot at all. I don't know really disappointed because the reviews show something different but our waitress who I think her name is Bee was awesome and so sweet. And there was a hair. I normally would be fine but since the food was so bad it was like icing on the cake :( read more

We haven't eaten at Macky's Grill in a while. I hate to post this but we spent a fortune (almost $50 with no drinks) on a couple of sandwich's and the food wasn't good. The bread was very cheap, the sweet potatoes tops were over cooked but not crisp (soggy), my sandwich bread was burned. It's sad because we used to love eating there. read more

During our trip to Payson we stopped by Mackys Grill and we both ordered the Mega Ooey Gooey burger and it was so good! It was easily one of the best burgers I've had!

Amazing! Went yesterday when visiting Payson. Brought our pup Lula Belle and sat in the patio. Perfect weather and they provide water and dog dishes for your furry friend. Hubby had Prime Rib shavings on toasted sourdough with green chilis and au jus. Delicious! I had the 2/3 pound burger dine medium with bacon and green chilis and mayo and sweet potato fries. Totally happy with all of it, it was great and we will be back!!! read more

Understaffed today. The burger I received was really really bad. Meat patty was black and crusty, and the bacon was crispy black. Inedible. So I ate the fries while my friends enjoyed their entrees. Please, please, please don't serve your customers meat burned black and crusty. I'm embarrassed for you. read more

Macky's Grill - a sandwich and sweet potato fries - Burgers Near Me - Payson, Arizona

Great place to go if you're craving tasty, filling, diner-style burgers! We stopped by after hiking in the area and sat on their dog friendly patio with our pup - nice shaded seating and the staff was so lovely. They have a variety of specialty burgers and you can sub for gluten free or plant based options if needed. I decided to go for the classic Macky's burger with cheddar - basic, no fuss or frills, but grilled nicely and satisfied my craving. My husband ordered the Mega Ooey Gooey which came with three types of cheese and bacon which he enjoyed as well. Both came with a side of fries which we had with ranch. Overall, a satisfying meal while in Payson! read more

The food is really good. But service was terrible. We got our beverages after our appetisers and meal were delivered and we were sitting outside on the hot patio. Never came by to as if we would like a refill. Would recommend next customer dine inside to maybe get faster service read more

On our way to our hotel we looked in Yelp and found Macky's Grill. This restaurant is cute, clean, with social distancing maintained. They are opened until 9pm. The lunch menu offered a very nice selections of sandwiches, burgers, salads, and more. Even conscious of people trying to lose weight. JC was our waitress she was very nice and helpful. She gave us information about things to do while we were in Payson. The restaurant has a large outside patio that was filled today. Our food was delicious and Macky's Grill doesn't skimp of portions. We wanted to go back before we drove home but we didn't have enough time on the day we left this area. Great place to relax and have really good food. read more
